Regular bathing of your pet using bug-repelling Essential Oils and castile soap will also work as a preventative method. The key is to bathe them often.
Choose any of the following Essential Oils (making sure to avoid eyes and inner ears):
- Lavender
- Cedarwood
- Lemongrass
- Outdoor Blend
- Cleansing Blend
If you find that your pet has skin irritants, dilute Lavender, Roman Chamomile, or Geranium Essential Oil with Aloe Vera and water. Spray on affected area and reapply as needed for soothing comfort.
Not only will you have the advantage over those infuriating bugs, you will have a great smelling friend as well. What’s not to like?
